I've never actually taken part in one of these type of relays before
I assume there's some sort of "best practice" re meeting up before/after, and transport to/from leg starts/ends, so if anybody wants to give me a clue as to how it all goes off, PLMK... :D
GO TEAM 42!
How about a new year Pony recce?Quote:

I'm sure I must've mentioned this before, but I have a mortal aversion to early starts (other than for races when it can't be helped, and even then I try to choose races that don't have an early start)Quote:

Where are the Crumblies? They know the way!
how do we go about recce'ing the MTL anyway? - presumably people will want to do their own legs? - I haven't got the time or the endurance to do much more than Leg 5 anyway - which bits do anybody else want to do...?
[meanwhile... I'd still like to have a nosey around White Holme/Blackstone Edge at some point... ;)]
Count us in, I think , we are doing the Hebden the day before but what the hell it's not a race , only a recce.;)Quote:

Sorry Rice Pudding Boy but I decided to cheer you on from the comfort and warmth of my sofa! ;)
(Hope you had a shandy for me at the finish!)
What about this recce on Sunday? We are happy to trot round any leg so anyone who doesn't know their way and wants some idea before the day, speak now! A 1030 start is good, not forgetting we'll have to get cars to the end of chosen leg for getting home afterwards (Master don't think about it, we'll give you some simple instructions when all is decided:eek:):)
I can play out, can snaffle a lift off the Mrs. and get picked up after, but she wants the car:)Quote:
